“There are two ways to get enough: one is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.”
G.K. Chesterton
Relish, taste, and immerse yourself in the divine of the ordinary! Because if you develop the capacity to suck all the joy that life has to offer, you don’t need expensive entertainment.
I’m not ashamed to say that looking through an open window and seeing clouds drift by is Class A entertainment for me. Doing that for just five minutes sets the tenor of my day.
Some take their pleasure from dining in classy restaurants, going on trips to Europe, and owning the latest home theater equipment. I’ve chosen the simpler path: If I can simply be with my wife, take a quiet stroll under a canopy of stars, play with a child, read a good book in my home, or laugh with friends over pizza, I consider myself richly blessed.
Focus on what you have, not on what you don’t.
Because satisfaction doesn’t come from getting what you want but wanting what you already have.
I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength. – Philippians 4:12-13
Think about it.
